The NFL season is seemingly flying by as we are already into Week 7. While last week offered a ton of values to exploit in NFL DFS contests, this week’s DraftKings pricing may be the most difficult that we have seen all year. Additionally, there aren’t many games that are obvious stacking spots for daily fantasy football players, as only four games having game totals over 44 points.

But even withat being said, teams such as the Cowboys, Titans, Saints, and Rams find themselves in excellent spots to have big weeks, and various injuries have opened up some value plays for the Bills and Broncos, among others. I won’t be covering the Thursday-Monday slate in this article, but if you are playing that slate then the Sunday night game, which features a Super Bowl rematch between the Falcons and the Patriots, is clearly the best game stacking spot of the week.

If you don't know, stacking is a necessary strategy in DFS contests, and RotoQL's tools provide a major advantage when you're trying to figure out the best stacks every week. With projections for floors and ceilings, plus value ratings, correlation, and Vegas lines, RotoQL helps take a lot of the guesswork out of setting a lineup. (See below)

I'm always down for answering your DFS questions on Twitter (@DFSBenj), so give me a follow for more NFL, MLB and PGA daily fantasy content.

The Cowboys have the second highest implied team total of the week at 26.3 points against the 49ers, and I think that might even be too low. With news coming out that Elliot is cleared to play, he instantly vaults to one of the top overall plays of the week against an extremely leaky Niners rushing defense. I love the idea of pairing Elliot with Prescott, who has enough rushing upside to make me feel comfortable not pairing him with one of the Dallas pass catchers. I’m taking the stand that the Cowboys coming off a bye will exceed their implied total, and a stack of Prescott/Elliot will ensure that you capture a share of every touchdown that the Cowboys score.

QB Marcus Mariota and TE Delanie Walker, Titans @ Browns

You don't need me to tell you that the Browns passing defense is bad. They are especially bad at defending the tight end position and have not shown an ability to defend the position at all over the past two seasons. While Walker has disappointed for much of the year, this is the ultimate spot for him to explode. A DraftKings price of $5,800 is just too cheap for a player with 100-yard, two-TD upside. While Mariota will likely still be limited in his rushing ability due to a lingering hamstring injury, keeping him in the pocket might actually benefit him against the putrid Browns pass defense.

RB LeSean McCoy and Bills D/ST, Bills vs. Buccaneers

The Bills receiving corps has been ravaged by injuries to top targets Jordan Mathews and Charles Clay, which has led to McCoy getting a nice boost in his usage in the passing game. He has had seven or more targets in three of his past four games to go along with his usual rushing market share. The Bills are coming off their bye and face Tampa Bay at home, whom we just saw get lit up by an aging Adrian Peterson. We have not yet seen McCoy hit his ceiling yet this season, but his floor in this matchup is extremely attractive in cash game formats. Pairing him with the Bills defense makes a lot of sense, especially if Bucs QB Jameis Winston is limited or forced to sit out with an injury to his throwing shoulder.

While I prefer using McCoy in cash games. I really like targeting Taylor for tournaments. The Bucs passing defense is well below average, and Tyrod’s price is low enough to allow us to fit in multiple high-priced studs into your lineup. Charles Clay’s injury has allowed O’Leary to take on the starting tight end role, and he saw six targets and was on the field for almost all of the teams snaps against the Bengals after Clay was injured in the first half. Going back to his days at Florida State, we saw that O’Leary posses excellent hands and is a big body that should see some red-zone looks for the depleted Bills receiving corps.

QB C.J. Beathard and WR Pierre Garcon, 49ers vs. Cowboys

As I mentioned, I love the Cowboys to roll against the 49ers this week, but that doesn't mean that we can’t target the Niners in a game that has sneaky shootout potential. The Dallas secondary has been one of the worst in the league, and the game script for this one should force Beathard into passing early and often. I want to stack him with top-target Garcon, who continues to see between eight-to-12 targets every week. Similar to the Bills stack, this 49ers stack is cheap enough to allow you to run it back with some expensive Cowboys or mix in other high-priced studs.

For my onslaught stack of the week I’m taking a good hard look at the Rams, who take on the Cardinals in England. The Cardinals defense has been extremely shaky all season long and has been especially bad away from Arizona. While the Cardinals have been decent against the run, the volume that Gurley will see both on the ground and in the passing game is more than enough to overcome the difficult matchup. Goff has played decently this season and flashed some nice upside despite struggling in some recent tough matchups against the Jags and Seahawks. Cardinals lock down cornerback Patrick Peterson left last week's game against the Bucs, and if he is held out then I love going in on Watkins, who would be in a prime breakout spot. However, if Peterson is active and shadows Watkins, then the play is Woods, who would draw a matchup with Cardinals CB Justin Bethel. Bethel has been a gold mine for fantasy points for opposing wide receivers over the past two years.
